I am pretty sure, that most of the WoW generation, would by far! rather have a fully-decked 85 char, that having a clean house, and a mowed lawn.
What people who don't play WoW, don't understand is, how big a role it plays in you'r life.
Lets say you where very much into building model rockets and compete with the world, who had the best model rocket, or something. And you had spend the same amount of time building it, as this guy has played wow. And then suddenly because you used a automatic blow dryer, instead of waiting for the glue to get solid, you where banned from the competition. You'r wouldn't just say, "oh well". And spend alot of time building a new one. You would first of all try to get it back before you start on anything. I know it is a strange example, but it is exactly what is going on here.@CJ Moizzi

If the movie, "Avalon", is any indication of what kind of a future we will have then you may actually get paid to play a game like this.Who knows?

And equating the 150 lost hours to money he could have made is tricky... People don't play WoW at the expense of earning money (I hope). They play WoW during their spare time. It's not as though he would be earning money during the time he would normally be playing WoW.
Leveling and gearing may not be fun, but it's not work. A better analogy would be calling it a chore. You don't get paid for mowing your lawn, cleaning your house, or washing your dishes, but you can pay people to do it for you. The difference here is that mowing, cleaning, and washing are necessities to maintaining a certain quality of life; having a fully-decked 85 character is not.@matt I hear ya man, but couldn’t he just buy a fully-decked 85 account at a cheaper price?

leveling and gearing is not fun, so we'll call that work. he can spend 50 hours worth of pay, or he can spend another 150 hours working on gear and levels.
150 hours lost is $3,000 he could have made.
so in fact if you got the money, $1,000 for his character is a hell of a deal, time is money afterall.
doesn't change the fact he broke the rules, i'm just pointing out your flawed logic that people who spend large amounts of money on a game have unhealthy attachments to their characters.$1,000. figure leveling time, and gear time, say he makes $20 an hour, if he has $1,000 just laying around $20 an hour doesn’t seem like an unreasonable pay rate to me.
